Yang Jian's trip to Dafu City didn't intercept mbers of the King Organization, but he did save the person in charge, Ma Jun, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
"We shouldn't waste ti investigating the assailant of Ma Jun. I have a premonition that many things will happen tonight. The King Organization is acting with a plan, they seem unable to wait, unwilling to pin all hopes on the Ghost Ship. They want to act in advance to weaken our side,"
"But they didn't expect that we captains have already gathered in Dadong City to defend against their attacks. If they knew we had initiated the second captain eting, the King Organization wouldn't dare to act against Ma Jun right under our noses. Therefore, this is both a crisis and an opportunity."
"If handled properly, this can cause significant losses to the King Organization."
Yang Jian was standing on the top floor of a building in Dadong City, contemplating alone. As ti passed, his judgnt of the current situation beca clearer.
He felt that the attack on Ma Jun wasn't a bad thing, but rather a good thing. This move from the other side shows that the Great Flood plan has worked, making the King Organization afraid to go for broke. They fear the continuous supernatural incidents wherever they are.
And now, as soon as the other side acts, the opportunity for Headquarters arises.
Thinking of this, he imdiately returned to the top floor of Ning'an Building.
All the remaining captains were here, and they weren't moving around aimlessly but were ready to support at any ti.
"Yang Jian, how are things in Dafu City?" Lu Zhiwen imdiately asked.
He Yiner also asked, "Did you catch the King Organization mbers? Did you kill them?"
Yang Jian didn't hesitate and briefly explained the situation in Dafu City: "Their ability to attack Ma Jun, the person in charge of Dafu City, shows they had no idea about our successful captain assembly and defense preparations. They moved faster this ti, causing us to suffer a loss first. Tonight, we must counterattack because they will keep acting."
Wang Chaling adjusted his glasses, stood up, and said, "The other side is in disarray. The King Organization doesn't want to bet everything on the last group battle. After all, eleven captains against fourteen kings—it's not certain who would win. Moreover, we have the Great Flood plan to counter them, and Yang Jian's previous hunting of a king has greatly shaken their confidence."
"So they see the transaction as an opportunity because we will definitely send enough captains over, which disperses the little strength we've gathered. The ideal scenario is to trick Yang Jian into going over, so Lu Zhiwen's previous deduction was correct."
"The transaction is a pretense, ant to cover tonight's action. Ma Jun's attack is the start, and leaders in other cities are also at risk."
"Exactly."
Lu Zhiwen nodded, "This should be their true intention, and we haven't been exposed yet, so today is the best opportunity for our counterattack."
"Yang Jian, what are we waiting for? We need to act." He Yiner stared at Yang Jian, eagerly.
Yang Jian said, "The other side wants to take advantage of our delayed response and overwhelm leaders in all our cities tonight. Clearly, the action will be led by kings, so we can't move alone. We must team up in pairs. He Yiner, you'll team with Zhou Deng; Wang Chaling, you'll team with Lu Zhiwen. I'll team separately with He Yuelian."
"I understand why you're alone, but is she okay? Although the ghost painting is very fearso, she's still a newcor." He Yiner doubted.
"We'll find out after tonight." Yang Jian replied.
Lu Zhiwen took out a map and pointed at it, "I have no objections to Yang Jian's arrangent. Tonight, all captains will scatter to find mbers of the King Organization. As long as we take down one king, today won't be a loss. I'll set out with Wang Chaling from Dadong City, following this route."
He traced a path on the map with his finger, which passed through several dium and small cities, each likely to have King Organization mbers.
"I'll take this route." He Yiner reached out and drew a line on the map.
He Yuelian said, "Then I'll be responsible for the Da'ao City area. My Ghost Domain is big; this entire region is under my charge, no problem."
"I'll head toward Dahai City. Near Dafu City are Li Jun and Leuk San; I believe there won't be issues there either." Yang Jian said, "If support is needed, contact or He Yuelian imdiately. We can reach there quickly."
"Everyone's gone, will there be issues for Cao Yang and Lin Bei?" He Yiner asked again.
Yang Jian replied, "They'll have to handle it themselves if there are. Three captains moving together have a higher safety factor than we do over here. Don't hesitate, act imdiately. A delay of even one minute could result in another leader being killed."
"Lu Zhiwen, co with ." Wang Chaling imdiately used his supernatural power, and a terrifying black and white elder appeared behind him.
Then the Ghost Domain enveloped them, and Wang Chaling and Lu Zhiwen disappeared together.
"I'm off too." He Yuelian's figure also vanished; she was familiar with Da'ao City's area and chose a suitable route.
He Yiner glanced at Zhou Deng, "Do you have a Ghost Domain?"
"Of course, who are you looking down on?" Zhou Deng said.
"Then that's good, let's go." He Yiner said.
Yang Jian said at this ti, "Zhou Deng, wait."
"What's up?" Zhou Deng paused his steps and asked.
Yang Jian said, "No matter what happens, you must protect He Yiner's safety. She's a Soul Summoner, crucial for Headquarters. With Zhang Jun killed, if Cao Yang can bring back Zhang Jun's corpse, He Yiner can use Soul Summoning to bring him back. The sa logic applies if other captains die; their relics beco He Yiner's dium, aning our team will always exist, and the situation won't be too bad."
"I understand, don't worry. I won't let her get into trouble." Zhou Deng solemnly nodded.
Yang Jian said, "I trust you, which is why I paired He Yiner with you."
Zhou Deng froze for a mont upon hearing this, seemingly not expecting Yang Jian to have such confidence in him. Was it because of the past trip to the old mansion, where they had shared life-and-death experiences?
It shouldn't be, back then, I caused quite a bit of trouble.
"I'm heading out again." After a few reminders, Yang Jian didn't say much more, and once his ghost eye opened, he vanished as well.
He Yiner glanced at Yang Jian leaving and said, "You should take care of yourself first. Don't think I don't know that you beca team leader by sheer luck. But I warn you, don't drag down when the ti cos, or I won't be polite to you."
"Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right. Let's go, no more wasting ti." Zhou Deng didn't want to argue with a woman, so he quickly led He Yiner away, vanishing inside Ning'an Building.
At this mont, all the team leaders began to take action, planning to intercept the King Organization's operation tonight.
Although the people of the King Organization were unaware of this operation, the team leaders knew very well that this ti there might be a fierce battle.
Yang Jian was the first to move. His Ghost Domain was swift, and he quickly reached a small, inconspicuous city according to the predetermined route.
This small city hadn't even sent out a person in charge, but his ghost eye scan revealed hidden ghost wielders.
Not many, only three people.
The three were gathered on a rooftop, around a campfire, discussing sothing unknown.
"The people from the King Organization have gone mad, choosing tonight to attack the city's leaders. I only joined the King Organization for so protection, not to get involved in this ss."
A young man with a gloomy, ashen face shook his head and complained.
"In wars, it's always the cannon fodder who die first. Hiding in this small city, we should be safe. There's not even a person in charge here. As long as we keep a low profile, nobody will target us, and the King Organization won't have ti to manage whether we're slacking off." Said a companion beside him.
"Exactly, we're just small fries. As long as we hide well, we'll be fine," the last ghost wielder agreed with the other two's views.
These kinds of people are typical opportunists in the supernatural circle. Seeing the strength of the King Organization, they imdiately sought refuge, trading it for a survival environnt. However, there's no free lunch in the world. As a price for joining the King Organization, they have a task today—to kill a city leader or create a supernatural incident.
But since they're not strong enough, they didn't dare to kill a leader and could only co to this small city to attempt to create a supernatural incident.
However, they didn't plan to cause trouble now, intending to wait and observe the situation, and only act if necessary.
Yet, just as the three were discussing and planning to muddle through the night,
the color of the campfire in front of them suddenly changed without them noticing, turning into an eerie light green,
and the fire no longer emitted warmth but instead exuded a chilling aura.
But as this cold firelight reflected off their faces, they felt an unbearable stinging, as if it was trying to ignite their bodies.
"Is this... Ghost Fla?" the young man with the ashen face suddenly realized sothing was wrong, recalling a supernatural power well-known in the circle.
It was familiar because the wielder of Ghost Fla was Li Jun and also a team leader.
However, their information was outdated. Now the wielder of Ghost Fla was not Li Jun but Yang Jian.
"Could it be Li Jun has co? Let's get out of here."
The three wanted to escape imdiately.
However, the next mont, the Ghost Fla in the campfire suddenly swelled, and the entire rooftop was enveloped in the pale green firelight, instantly engulfing the three.
"Don't kill , I can give you information about the King Organization. We weren't causing trouble here either. For the sake of us being compatriots..." one scread, his body quickly charring, but at the end, he still didn't forget to beg for rcy.
Because there was no way they could fight against Ghost Fla.
However, under the Black Night, all was silent around, and no one responded to the plea.
The three ended up as charred corpses, eventually swallowed by the pooling water rising from the ground.
After the three bodies were swallowed,
in a river near so city abroad, three fierce ghosts broke free from the cold river water, appearing on the shore.
"The Ghost Lake is full, now as many ghosts as it subrges, it releases the sa number," Yang Jian left with this thought. He had to continue searching for mbers of the King Organization.
Even ordinary mbers he didn't intend to spare.
If he missed tonight, Yang Jian wasn't even sure if there would be another chance to severely damage the King Organization.
"It would be best to catch a King and take him out, otherwise, it's too much of a loss for ," Yang Jian thought silently.
anwhile,
Li Jun, with Leuk San's paper man, traced and chased, finally intercepting so people in a small town with his sensing ability.
"Sothing's not right, they have discovered us and are waiting for us here. Li Jun, you need to be careful," Leuk San advised in a hushed voice at this mont.
Now, in the middle of the deserted town road,
a foreign man with a cowboy hat and stubbly beard was standing motionless, with a creepy smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Buddy, you shouldn't have followed here. After all, according to the plan, I didn't intend to clash with a team leader today."
